Title: Hooks for Alex
Post by: Shark Hunter on May 29, 2017, 11:43:17 PM
Alex,
You are in Luck,
I went through all my hooks and found two big J hooks for your friend,
I'm not a fan of them, so they all yours. I only have two, but I will triple crimp them as your customer asked and the only charge will be shipping,
Next to a 20/0 Circle.

Here you Go Alex, They will be going out in tomorrow's mail.
The J's are triple crimped per your customers request.
I'm running short on Mustads, so yours have 18/0 Lingred Pitman Hooks. These are nice.
I included 4 500 lb roscoe swivels for attaching to the main line.
I make mine a little different, but I built these to your specs.
I'm not in the habit of selling leaders, but I knew you were in a pinch. ;)

They are on their way to Calexico Alex.
I finished the four I made for myself tonight.
I forgot how much work it was.
8 double 2.2 crimps. Three stainless thimbles. 500 lb swivel in the middle.
10 ' of 480lb cable and 20' of 400 lb mono with a sliding trace.
I make my cable or wire at least ten feet because I have seen sharks try to roll up on these to get loose.
Bolt or wire cutters make quick work of this when he is on shore wrapped up in the leader.
Even my crimper has some serious wire cutting abilities.
It can cut that 500 lb swivel.
A lot of power in a small package.
